Complex Waves I: Propagation, Evanescence and Instability
- 1968 ----- b & w ----- 27 min ----- 16mm
- Shows how electromagnetic fields and forces interact with moving and deformable media. Professor Melcher demonstrates a variety of real wave phenomena and discusses the effect of the parameter in the wave equation which describes the phenomena. The simultaneous display of the real phenomena with its associated (computer-animated) omega-k dispersion relation demonstrates the effect on the phenomena as the parameters of the system are varied.
